Hey guys,

I had to quit Minoxidil a while back because of the facial puffiness as well as feeling so faint that I was gonna have a heart attack any minute. Then I switched to proscar and it worked well, but then I read all the horror stories and decided i'd rather not russian roulette it.

My hair went to the crapper during the time, diffuse thinning, it looked really bad. So I adopted this regime using Nizoral shampoo, Revivogen, Tom Hagerty's Scalp exercise and Saw Palmetto coupled with Folic acid, MSM and Biotin supplements. My hair slowly started getting thicker and small minute hair's were become more and more visible, I was very pleased with this regime. The thing is that I've only recently added Saw Palmetto and I felt it was definitely doing something, the problem is that now I am feeling very faint and my face is getting water retention again.

I noticed this happened with Bet Sitosterol before, which I know is the main ingredient of Saw Palmetto, so I dropped it and opted to go with Saw but I am getting it again.

I know there's nothing wrong with my heart cause I recently went to see a cardiologist and he said I was in excellent condition.

The problem is that I don't want to drop the SP but I'm also worried that it may be harming me.

Is there any other Natural DHT Blockers which I can use instead? One of my friends said that the problem is that SP is a blood thinner, so that may be what is causing the problem, however I don't think so because I take Omega 3 and didn't have this case.

Another friend says it causes High blood pressure and I am doing the head massages which may be making it worse.

Sorry for the long post, but I could really use some advice. I would drop the SP if I knew there was another natural DHT blocker that was good enough. Stinging Nettle maybe?
